In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 181: A change of personnel, the upcoming final battle

"Hooho..."

Amidst the roars, five huge white pillars rose from the sky and spread out in all directions like blooming fireworks.

Of course, this is the picture from Yagyu's perspective, and he is looking from a high place.

In fact, there were five white mud pillars flying out from the body of the heretic golem that was beaten into mud.

On the top of each of these white pillars, there is an animal face, like a monkey, a bull's head, an insect, etc...

Five white pillars with animal patterns flew out and landed around the bottom of the super large pit.

When the white pillar fell to the ground, there was finally no more pillar extending from the body of the Outer Golem, and the connection with the Outer Golem was also cut off.

However, the column was still moving, just converging at the tip and merging into a huge white sphere.

Then, the white sphere was molded into the shapes of several animals like Deidara's clay.

Immediately, the identities of these animals were automatically colored, and soon they became several living creatures.

These animals are none other than the famous eight-tailed Ushioki, seven-tailed Shigemide, five-tailed Muwang, four-tailed Son Goku, and two-tailed Nekomata.

"I almost thought I couldn't get out. I didn't expect that besides the old man, there was someone who could beat this thing."

"Where's the guy with the same eyes as the old man? I'm going to kill him!"

"Why are you still killing? Run quickly, or this guy will catch you."

"..."

As soon as the five tailed beasts came out, they started to communicate. Among them, the two-tailed Nekomata, who looked like a monster, was afraid that he would be sealed again, so he immediately looked for Nagato to kill him.

Even if they are dead, their bones must be ground into dust.

But Nanao spoke up to remind them and took the lead in running away.

There is no way, the scene in front of me is just too scary.

Being at the bottom of the super pit, they only occupy a small space in the super pit.

But outside the super large pit stands a Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue that is taller than the highest peak in the world.

Although they are all inside the body of the Outer Path Statue, they are of the same origin as the Outer Path Statue. To be precise, they are all part of the Ten-Tails, but they have independent consciousness.

They can see everything that the Outer Golem can see.

So when the heretic golems were blown up, they seemed to see themselves being blown up.

Even though they did not feel any pain, the power to destroy the earth and rewrite map plates was something they could not deal with at all.

Even if they join forces, it would only take a few slaps from this Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

So the only one who could fly, Nanami Shigeaki, flapped his wings without hesitation and fled to the left side of Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

Seeing the seven-tailed beast running away, the five-tailed Mu-oh and the two-tailed Nekomata also ran on all fours without hesitation and escaped quickly.

The Four-Tailed Monkey King was a beat slower, but quickly escaped.

Only the eight-tailed cow demon was still standing there, trying to sense Kirabi's location.

The Eight-tailed Gyu-ki decided to leave only after it could no longer sense Killer Bee's chakra and could not find his body.

Yagyu didn't care about the departure of the tailed beasts, nor did he try to stop them.

After all, his goal and dream is not to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Not to mention that the tailed beast escaped, even if Nagato was beaten to death and the Rinnegan was accidentally destroyed by himself, Yagyu didn't care at all.

Of course, if the Rinnegan had not been destroyed, that would naturally be a good thing.

After all, Uchiha Hikaru gave Yagyu an inspiration that pupil techniques can be transplanted!

After the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan was revealed from Ino, Yagyu also found the scene of the Uchiha clan transplanting the eye technique to Uchiha Hikaru through Uchiha Hikaru's memory, and obtained the transplant method.

Now Yagyu's Nintai Genjutsu has reached the pinnacle of the ultimate, and can be regarded as the pinnacle of mortals.

He can perform various ninjutsu and compound ninjutsu at will, and can even do things that even Hashirama Senju cannot do.

That is to let the wooden dragon and the wooden arhat both use the five elements escape technique.

After activating the Sage Mode, Yagyu, whose sage body has reached perfection, can easily crush Might Guy who has opened the Seven Gates. Any injury can be healed quickly and without any seals.

In terms of illusions, unless it is an illusion of the bloodline network level, no one's illusion will work on Yagyu. And Yagyu's illusions are effective on anyone below the Six Paths level, including Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama who has achieved the great perfection of the immortal body.

Because Yagyu not only possesses Kurama Yakumo's bloodline limit, but also successfully transplanted Uchiha Shisui's two eyes, Kotoamatsukami.

If he wasn't afraid of scaring Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito and affecting his plans, Yagyu would only need to activate Sage Mode and Mangekyō Sharingan, and he wouldn't even need to use his own exclusive eye technique, Yomizu and Complete Susanoo. He could just use the Nintai Genshin to deal with Nagato, who is even more powerful than in the original.

Ignoring the departure of the tailed beast, Yagyu threw down a kunai.

After the kunai fell from a very high altitude to the bottom of the pit, Yagyu teleported to the bottom of the super large pit, looking at the Outer Path Demon Statue in front of him, whose body was wriggling and whose injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, with red light flashing in his eyes.

Yagyu vaguely guessed the truth.

Nagato had either been beaten to pieces by the Senjutsu Wood Release, True Thousand Hands, and the Buddha on the Head, and turned to ashes along with the Rinnegan, or he had hidden in the body of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

If Yagyu remembered correctly, the 100,000 White Zetsu were hidden in the body of the Outer Path Demon Statue. This secret was only known by Kaguya Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Obito.

When bombing the earth just now, Yagyu was very sure that he did not sense any fluctuations in time and space.

In other words, it is impossible that Nagato was rescued by Uchiha Obito.

But it is also a fact that his chakra and body disappeared.

Either dead or hiding.

Yagyu, who believed in fate and destiny, believed that Nagato was hiding.

After all, the defense of the Outer Path Demon Statue is not to be underestimated. Even if the destructive power of the Immortal Wood Release, True Thousand Hands, and Top Buddha is strong, it is impossible to blow up the Outer Path Demon Statue with the first punch.

Using the Outer Path Golem as a shield, Nagato had a long breathing time.

In addition, his control over the Outer Path Golem surpasses that in the original work, so it is not ruled out that he has also discovered the strange space inside the Outer Path Golem's body.

Unfortunately, Yagyu's red-eye level is too low.

From his perspective, he could only see that the Outer Path Demon Statue contained a vast amount of chakra in its body. There were not even any veins in the human body. He could not see what was inside the Outer Path Demon Statue, nor could he sense whether there was other chakra inside.

This is the difference in dimensions!

Even if Yagyu has the power to blow up the Outer Path Golem, he and the Outer Path Golem are not in the same realm or dimension.

Just like the Super Saiyans in the Dragon Ball world, they possess terrifying fighting power, but their realm is not as good as that of gods.

"It's come to this point, but they haven't come out yet? It seems like there's a problem over there too."

Yagyu suddenly looked in a certain direction and thought to himself.

Uchiha Madara is the most important part of Black Zetsu's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, and is also the most important chess piece to resurrect his mother.

Similarly, in Yagyu's plan, Uchiha Madara is also the most important chess piece.

The Fourth Ninja World War has been going on for more than ten days now, and Yagyu originally thought that Uchiha Madara should have come out long ago.

Unexpectedly, Orochimaru has not yet resurrected him. Obviously, the cooperation between Orochimaru and Black Zetsu is not as deep as the cooperation between Kabuto Yakushi and Uchiha Obito in the original work.

Similarly, the character of the original Kabuto Yakushi cannot compare to that of the current Orochimaru.

As a spectator, Orochimaru's patience is beyond imagination.

I don't know if he really doesn't care, or if he is worried that he will be in danger after resurrecting Uchiha Madara through the Impure World Reincarnation.

But Yagyu was not in a hurry.

Unlike Black Zetsu who couldn't do anything to Orochimaru, it would only take Yagyu a few minutes to deal with Orochimaru.

So, Yagyu turned his attention back to the Outer Path Statue that had been mostly repaired. He was about to reach out and touch the Outer Path Statue, using Wood Release and special perception to find the entrance to the alien space inside the Outer Path Statue's body.

The next second, Yagyu's pupils contracted slightly.

bang————

All I heard was a sound like a balloon exploding.

The wound in front of Yagyu was wriggling, and the outer demon statue, which was constantly growing white mud to repair its body, suddenly turned into white smoke with an astonishing area.

When the gusts of wind and rain dispersed the smoke, the heretic golem had disappeared.

"Ok?"

Yagyu raised his eyebrows, this time he was really surprised.

The Outer Path Golem was actually taken away by a spirit? !
You know, as the body of the Ten-Tails, the Outer Path Statue is different from the nine tailed beasts.

Just like no matter how powerful Nagato is, he cannot use the exclusive eye technique of the Rinnegan.

In the original work, when Uchiha Madara was just reborn from the Impure World Reincarnation, he tried to summon the Nine-Tails, but failed because the Nine-Tails was sealed in Naruto's body.

But after his resurrection, Uchiha Madara only needed to take back one Rinnegan, which would immediately deprive Uchiha Obito, the false owner of the Rinnegan, of his ownership of the Outer Path Statue.

Therefore, without the real Rinnegan, it is impossible to communicate with the Outer Path Demon Statue.

But now, the heretic golem has been taken away by the spirit!

How could this not surprise Yagyu!

He was very sure that this was not done by Uchiha Madara.

Nagato did it? Then how did he escape the attack range of the Immortal Wood Release, True Thousand Hands, and the Buddha on the Top?
You have to know that he is an outer path body, not the Six Paths of Pain who can summon spirits to his side at will.

There was no fluctuation of space-time ninjutsu before, which means it was not Uchiha Obito who rescued him.

Moreover, Yagyu also thought that Nagato actually hid in the different space inside the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Now he was told that Nagato had actually run away a long time ago, and that he escaped in a way that even he didn't notice. How could Yagyu not be surprised?

"It seems that I underestimated the strongest person of this era."

After being surprised, Yagyu couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, he doesn't care.

As the winner, he doesn't need to care at all.

No matter how the other party escapes, it is just a mouse.

I failed to kill the mouse this time, I can try again next time.

So, Yagyu teleported and disappeared at the bottom of the super large pit.

He did not go to find Samui to win the favor of the cold and beautiful woman, but returned to the barrier of the Four Red Yang Formation.

At this time, Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were still fighting with Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama.

As for Hashirama Senju, he was trapped by Yagyu's wooden clone and the second level of the Four Red Yang Formation.

Otherwise, there would be no way to perform.

If it was just a wooden clone, it would be impossible for it to defeat Hashirama Senju.

If the wooden clone is destroyed, Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke will be in danger.

Facing the siege of three Hokage, unless Naruto masters the Kurama mode and performs the powerful Susanoo together with Uchiha Sasuke, he will be pinned to the ground by the three Hokage.

However, after having a great fight, Yagyu came back and didn't plan to continue acting. He turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Senju Tobirama, ready to help Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto to defeat the previous Hokage one by one and pave the way for the upcoming final battle.

At the same time, inside a cave in a mountain.

"Obito, what are you doing?"

The White Zetsu clone looked at the two people, one standing and one lying in front of him, with a stunned look on his face.

The two people in front of them were wearing black windbreakers embroidered with red clouds, but their clothes were tattered and covered with scars.

The person lying among them was dying and was about to die.

This person is Nagato.

The other person is Uchiha Obito.

At this time, Nagato had his left eye closed, and there was a bloodstain on the corner of his eye and face.

His body was covered with sharp thorns.

These spikes are of different colors, some are black, and some are the color of dead wood. They are the creations of Yin-Yang Release: Black Stick and Wood Release: Grafting Technique.

Looking at Uchiha Obito in front of him, whose breath was already extremely weak and could die at any time, Nagato said with a little realization: "Obito... Obito, you... you are not Uchiha Madara."

"It doesn't matter if it's Uchiha Madara or not, but our goal is to create peace, just in different ways."

Uchiha Obito, who had taken off his mask and revealed his true face with scars on half of his face, actually dug out his left eye, whose pupil had turned white and completely lost its sight, and then stuffed the Rinnegan he had dug out from Nagato's left eye directly into his left eye.

With the help of Hashirama's cells in half of his body, Uchiha Obito is just like Uchiha Madara in the original work, digging and using them as soon as they are available.

I don't know if it's arrogance, carelessness, or just plain stupidity...

After installing a Rinnegan, Uchiha Obito did not take action against Nagato and his other right eye. Instead, he walked out of the cave and took out a brand new mask with two empty ones that had been prepared for him long ago from the Kamui Space and put it on.

“…The art of spiritual communication!”

After a while, the shout was transmitted from outside to inside and reached the ears of White Zetsu's clone and Nagato.

Seeing Nagato about to die, with his chakra flow blocked by the black stick and his internal organs pierced by wooden spikes, the White Zetsu clone suddenly approached.

Poof——

A sound like a sharp weapon entering the body was heard.

After a few seconds, White Zetsu's clone disappeared into the cave.

Nagato also stopped breathing completely and lay on the cold ground.

What's even more miraculous is that with his death, his body, which had been restored to its peak state by the Outer Statue's life-saving technique, began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon returned to its original state, and was even worse than before.
